Jim, some more fantastic ideas. I’m finding that in certain states I’m finding it difficult to get the code violations and the eviction/judgment for possession houses. It’s quite frustrating. And if anyone is from Delaware that’s the specific state I’m referring to right now.

Jonathan that’s an awesome idea. Thank you so much for sharing it with me and my readers.

Thank you for visiting. I’m sure you can share so much insight with what you do in Cincinnati, so please feel free to come back whenever you like and give your take on things.

I think all the ideas presented here are great and I use quite a few of them myself. I am the marketing coordinator for a Cincinnati real estate investor and I spend a lot of my time organizing and finding motivated buyers and sellers through any marketing avenues I can come up with. One of the very profitable ways I have found in finding motivated sellers is by contacting my local section 8 office and getting a contact list for all their landlords. Many of them own apartment building and just want to get out of the renting game. A lot of these people are investors who are tired of renting and just want to make their money and move on and if you can offer them a fast alternative then you may have a deal. The other plus side is that many of these people are active investors and would be great contacts to keep on your buyers list. This is just one of the additional ways I quickly generate more motivated sellers. .-= Jonathan´s last blog ..The Secret Room =-.

You should try bankruptcy court, divorce court, and real good one is to check are code violations. You will find motivated sellers in those particular areas.

Thanks for your comment Ninja. Btw, I really love your name. Just something about ninja in a name makes it cool I think. Ya know like Ninja Chef? or Ninja Broker? It just makes anything sound better…..don’t you agree?

Anyway, on to your tips…..great tips btw and I actually do have several brokers sending me deals on a daily basis but you know after listening to your comment I probably should reach out to more. How many do you think you’re working with?

Hello, Flippin Carey if you want commercial deals the way to find them is… find a list to all commercial brokers like I did send them a nice letter then strap your self in and hold on because you see if a commercial seller gets in to trouble this is where they go first to try and save it I’m mean before the first 30 days of behind in payments… PS PS PS here is a secret most of the one’s on loop net are there and cityfeet.com you just got to ask the right questions see I look at 85 deals a week here

Al,

Now would that list be in the same place as sfh’s? Or do you think they keep it separate?

I am in PA and I was just under the assumption that everything is lumped together and you just gotta sift through it to find what you want.

What have you found to be the case where you are? And btw, where are you? Are you involved in commercial deals or other types?

Thanks so much for the comment and ideas! And most importantly thanks for checking out the blog! I hope you come back often and participate.

Hey Esi,

Thanks for the tips. I actually have a couple of brokers sending me deals. So far me and the sellers have not even been close on price. I’m just feeling they aren’t the “motivated” type ya know?

I’m also on loopnet too. I was going to stay away from reo’s because I didn’t want to get into too much work for my first multi-family deal but I think I may reconsider.
